Aria instantly smiled smugly at Rapido's words.Rapido had been Lisha's loyal suitor for several years, but Lisha had always been dismissive of Rapido.As a result, Rapido could not help but resent Lisha.Moreover, Sean had also humiliated Rapido in front of Lisha at the antique market, which was why Rapido's feelings for Lisha turned from love to hatred.In this case, Aria only had to seduce him a little, and he took the bait.Then Rapido defected to Aria, helping her give false testimony that Lisha had Sean assassinate Lowich and Aria.Rapido swore at the time that Aria had not given him anything and that he had not benefited from Aria.He was telling the truth.However, he got Aria. That was what he got from doing that."Didn't you used to like Lisha?"Aria asked triumphantly.Rapido chuckled and said darkly, "Yes, I used to like Lisha, but what can I do when she doesn't like me? Besides, Lisha is hungry for that man from Dragon Kingdom. What can I do? If I can't get her,
The diplomatic convoy headed toward Dorodo.They took the main road this time, thinking there would be no ambush with soldiers chasing like the last time. Therefore, the diplomatic convoy started their journey without haste or worry.Moreover, the diplomatic convoy returned to Dorodo with the same amount of people who went to Crosac.It also filled Uriah with admiration for Sean.After all, Uriah did not think Sean and Zander would survive the ambush, nor would any of the city defense soldiers and personal guards following them.However, the truth was that they were all here and alive."No one's going to ambush us this time, right?"Shania asked, sticking her head out of the car window."No."Sean said affirmatively."Why?"Shania asked curiously.Sean did not answer, but Dorodo's army of 1,500 men was heading for Dorodo on the other end. If there was an ambush, it was either the enemy ambushing the diplomatic convoy, or the diplomatic convoy ambushing the enemy.It was wh
Lowich was dead.The Seven Star Sword that Lowich was holding also broke in half.The 20-million-dollar sword was like a piece of tofu before the Guardian Sword."Bury him."Sean ordered."Yes!"Several city defense soldiers dismounted their horses and quickly buried Lowich in a hole in the ground, using the wilderness survival tools they had brought.Without a tombstone nor marker, no one would know that the bodyguard of the mayor of Crosac's second daughter was buried here.Lowich was destined to be forgotten for his stupidity.About half an hour was wasted after this little episode.However, that was about it. The diplomatic convoy was back in Dorodo before dark.Their return was greeted with fanfare. The reception for the diplomatic convoy lasted until midnight.Besides, the entire Dorodo celebrated it. It took several days for the holiday-like atmosphere to dissipate.At the same time, all the information contained in the third ancient bronze sword fragment was reveal
'The more you buy, the cheaper each one would be?'Sean was amused before walking over to the old man, who was clearly from Dragon Kingdom. He pulled out a five Dollar Dragon Dollar bill and said, "Give me two sticks.""Alright!"The old man took the money, quickly took down two sticks of cotton candy, and handed them to Sean.Sean ate the cotton candy while walking in the street. The short leisure time made him feel relaxed.The light was green.There was no one else crossing the street except Sean.As soon as Sean walked to the middle of the road, a luxury Bentley suddenly sped up. Although it stopped sharply at the zebra crossing, it was too late.The average person would probably get hit by the car.However, was Sean the average person?Seeing the luxury Bentley about to crash into him, Sean suddenly dodged it with a backflip.However, the front of the car brushed him a little.Looking at the back of his hand, Sean shook his head.Focused on eating his cotton candy, he
Sean could smell the wisps of fragrance from her.It was the midnight flower perfume that Sean and Lisha chose from Mr. Royce's perfume store in Crosac."Is this midnight flower perfume?"Sean asked casually.The woman instantly looked surprised after hearing Sean's question.She looked Sean up and down and asked, "How did you know I wear midnight flower perfume?""A friend of mine uses it a lot."Sean replied."I see..."The lady woman nodded slowly, looking at Sean with a more confused expression.The driver in the front seat said dismissively, "Madam, don't listen to his brags. The midnight flower perfume is a Crosac specialty. A small bottle of midnight flower perfume costs thousands of dollars in Dorodo if not tens of thousands. No ordinary people can afford it. This fellow must be bragging to please you!"The beautiful woman chuckled at the driver's words but said nothing more.Sean did not explain either.However, the woman seemed curious about him and asked, "What
The driver also got out of the car.Such fancy parties would arrange a place for the guests' drivers to rest.The three went to the door. A young girl wearing a gorgeous dress ran out of the door before jumping into the arms of the beautiful woman."Aunt Layla, you finally came. I've been waiting for you.""Miriam, you're getting increasingly beautiful that I hardly recognize you."The beautiful woman called Aunt Layla smiled tenderly and touched the young girl's head.Needless to say, the young girl was the star of today's ball, Miriam Wosh.Miriam knew Aunt Layla's driver, so she did not pause when she glanced at him. However, she was confused when she looked at Sean, a man she had never seen near Aunt Layla."Aunt Layla is this... Could he be your dance partner?"Miriam asked with a smile.The beautiful woman shook her head and explained. "He's a man I met on the road. My car accidentally hit him, so I brought him here. When the ball is over, ask your father to examine him
Then the group of drivers passed the time smoking and chatting.Suddenly the lounge door opened, and a waiter in a vest came in pushing a dining cart.There were a lot of desserts and drinks like coffee and tea on the dining cart.After placing all the food on the small coffee table in the middle of the lounge, the waiter smiled and said, "Enjoy, everybody."Then the waiter pushed the dining cart and left.As soon as the waiter left, the drivers dived on the desserts."Here, try this. It contains alcohol!""Are you kidding? We have to drive later!""This is delicious! It's so delicious. I've never tasted anything so delicious before!""It seems to be a Raphael City specialty. I saw it on TV before.""The Wosh family's ball is so grand. They even bought desserts from other cities!""Try this coffee. This coffee is good too."The drivers enjoyed themselves with the food while Sean sat quietly on a couch nearby, waiting for time to pass.The driver with a face full of stubble
Miriam laughed and said, "Aunt Montana, are you still angry with my father?""It's been years. I don't want to bother with being mad at him."Though Monica Montana said that, she looked away from Benedict.Just then, a surprise guest arrived.It was Mayor Quentin's daughter, Shania.She was not alone. She was accompanied by her personal bodyguard—Uriah.Shania was dressed to the nines. She was wearing a sky-blue dress with crystal-clear heels that seemed to be made out of blue glass. The accessory on her head glimmered in the light, making her look like a princess.Shania's arrival stole the star of the ball—Miriam's spotlight. Everyone's attention was focused on Shania."It's the mayor's daughter!""I didn't expect Ms. Shania to attend Ms. Miriam's birthday ball. Is Ms. Miriam close to Ms. Lewis?""I heard Dr. Wosh healed Ms. Lewis's bodyguard, so Ms. Lewis is honoring Dr. Wosh by attending his daughter's birthday ball today.""I see! No wonder!"The guests started talking
